It looks like a kitchen compost tool. We use a stainless steel bucket for things like veg scraps, egg shells and used coffee grounds. Once it's full I dump it into our main composter outdoors. Once the main composter is full and has had time to break down we spread it in the flower beds and garden.

Sometimes the kitchen bin will get a little stinky, but I usually just empty it faster. I don't think these are worth the money unless you go through less scraps or maybe if you live in an apartment and want to compost in small quantities for house plants.

Ha, I thought this made smoothies in a new way.

I guess good for those who don't have a backyard but want to do some small scale composting. We just use plastic chinese noodle trays in the kitchen to collect scraps, then it goes out on the compost heap.

I noticed they put some rather large bones into it, I guess it must be strong to tear those to pieces. We don't compost bones (or any meat, for that matter) to not attract bigger rodents. 🐀

I legit got one from Goodwill about three months ago for $10.

I have a compost pile and I toss all of our kitchen vegetable/fruit scraps in there and after a few hours it's all small dried particles that break down so much faster than if you were to toss everything in the pile whole.

Would I have paid $300-400 for this, naw. But now that I have one and if it breaks I will. I really like this thing.

value prop is for people who don't already compost (this does not actually compost; it dehydrates and shreds into a sort of "mulch"). This actually has good value if it's winter and your compost pile is far away in the cold, or if you don't like cleaning up "slime" from a conventional, non-dry compost bucket. As an avid gardener, it costs about $3/mo in electricity if you aren't going hardcore on replacing filters, and that more than makes up for the amount of kitchen scraps that otherwise get thrown away. Stick all this in a bag and mix it in with your "real" soil or compost and you have a pretty nice nutrient loam additive.
